Community is known for its off the wall plot lines and clever marketing, and the new promotional campaign for NBC’s cult favorite will not disappoint. Your favorite characters from Community will be getting animated for three promotional shorts designed to drum up interest in the show’s March 15 return to NBC’s schedule.

The announcement was one of many made during Community‘s PaleyFest session on Monday. For those of you unfamiliar with PaleyFest, for a quarter century they have held a festival at the Paley Center for Media in LA, which celebrates the best of television with the creative teams who make the breakthrough programs. It allows for interaction between the creative television community, television stars and their fans in a panel type environment.

The shorts, titled Abed’s Master Key, will debut on March 7 on Hulu, Hulu Plus and NBC.com. They were written by Dave Seger (Channel 101) & Tom Kauffman (Lil Wayne’s Big House).

For those Community fans who can’t wait for March 7th, here’s a preview after the jump:

If you love Joss Whedon and his shows then you’re probably a fan of Dollhouse. Recently, at the annual PaleyFest in Los Angeles, Joss, series star Eliza Dushku and several more of the show’s cast and producers were on a panel discussing the show, what it all means and if its going to survive.

If you were one of the lucky few able to score a ticket to the event, you’ve already seen the panel and experienced it live. If you’re like most other fans, you weren’t there and had to hear about it from others who were.

But now, thanks to the folks at the PaleyFest, if you were not able to attend, at least you can watch some highlights of the panel on video. Over at the official PaleyFest website, they’ve posted video clips from the Dollhouse panel and, if you’re interested, they’ve also got clips from Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia as well. Check ’em out.

On a related note, The Flickcast will be at the PaleyFest tonight for the Battlestar Galactica panel, so expect a report on all the festivities.
